    unlucky to set any crops or plants on Easter Monday as it is said they would not grow at all if you did so. It is also said that it is very unlucky to wear a suit of clothes for the first time at a funeral. They say if this is done that the suit of clothes would not last long after.
    It is considered unlucky to break any ware on a Monday as it is said that all the luck would go out of the house. It is also said that if a picture falls off the wall on a Monday that it is a sign that some one of the family is sure to die soon after.
